One Ford F350 Utility for the Parks & Maintenance Department in the amount of $89,112 plus a 20% contingency of $17,823 for a total amount not-to-exceed $106,935.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations for the purchase of replacement vehicles in the Equipment Services Fund and the purchase of additional vehicles in the Integrated Waste Fund. The total cost of the vehicles recommended for purchase is $334,671 plus a 20% contingency of $66,934 to mitigate any unforeseen issues with supply chain surcharges and manufacturer price increases, for a total amount not-to-exceed $401,605.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The vehicles recommended for replacement have outlived their useful life and are no longer cost effective to maintain. They are scheduled for replacement pursuant to 454
ongoing efforts to reduce expenses, maximize useful life expectancy and extend replacement cycles of fleet equipment, while ensuring safe and reliable operations. This procurement action will result in the replaced vehicles being available to surplus, with any auction sale proceeds returning to the Equipment Service Fund.
The four motorcycles requested by the Police Department, and the one vehicle requested by the Integrated Waste Department, are a result of growth throughout the City leading to increased operations. The Ford Expedition requested by the Police Department and the Ford F350 requested by the Park and Maintenance Department are replacements for existing vehicles.
In general conformation with the provisions of Government Code Section 54201 through 54204, Ontario Municipal Code Section 2-6.29 allows for the purchase of supplies and equipment through cooperative purchasing programs, pursuant to California Government Code Section 6502 and City of Ontario Resolution No. 91-141. Cooperative purchasing allows the City to pool its procurement power with other public agencies to obtain lower pricing than otherwise might be possible.

A RESOLUTION APPROVING A TEMPORARY REDUCTION IN CERTAIN BUILDING
PERMIT FEES
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
May
2, 2023
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt a Resolution approving a temporary reduction in certain building permit fees.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated reduction in Building Department revenues resulting from the fee reductions is $750,000 for FY2022-23 and $1.75 million to $2 million for FY2023-24.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
Over the past several months, increases in interest rates, construction costs, and permit fees have resulted in impacts to the residential market. The higher interest rates require greater income levels for potential buyers to qualify for loans. While construction material costs have stabilized of late, labor costs have continued to go up. And increases in fees have resulted in additional permit fees. Slower home sales initially prompted the reduction in home sale prices. This has been followed by builders offering incentives to bring buyers to the table, including buy-downs on interest rates, upgrades in fixtures, counter tops, etc. These incentives have stemmed the slowdown, but the market still remains below previous year's sales levels.
To help offset some of these impacts and help stimulate the residential market, Staff is proposing a reduction in certain building permit fees. Current fees for some mechanical, electrical and plumbing fees would be reduced by 50%, equating to roughly $2,500 for a 2,200 square foot home. This would result in permitting fees in line with building permit fees in 2021.
As the building industry is very cyclical, Staff is proposing the fee reduction to remain in effect until June 30, 2024. Prior to that date, Staff will review sales information to determine if the market has sufficiently rebounded. If sales are favorable, the fee reduction will be allowed to expire and fees will revert to the current levels. Should sales not rebound sufficiently, Staff will consider an extension of the fee reduction. 459

SECTION:
PUBLIC HEARINGS
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council ("City") and the Board of the Ontario Housing Authority ("Authority") take the following actions:
A
.
Approve the Second Amendment to the FY 2021-22 Annual Action Plan (on file in the Records Management Department) (“Substantial Amendment”); and
B
.
Authorize the City Manager/Executive Director or his designee to sign all documents necessary to implement the Agreements
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:
The Substantial Amendment allocates $2,713,297 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program American Rescue Plan Act (HOME-ARP) funds awarded to the City of Ontario.
These funds include up to 15% ($406,994) for eligible administration costs. The associated revenue and expenditures were included in the FY 2022-23 Mid-Year Budget Update to the City Council.
The
administration allowance of the HOME-ARP allocation will be used to hire one Administrative Technician and Administrative Specialist. Both of these positions will be used to administer the rental assistance program being recommended for funding with the HOME-ARP funds. Upon the exhaustion of the HOME-ARP Administration funding, these two positions will be funded by the General Fund if there is no additional Housing funding available.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On May 4, 2021, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2021-22 One-Year Annual Action Plan as part of the Consolidated Plan. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ("ARP") was signed by President Biden on March 11, 2021, to deliver direct relief to the American people, stabilize the American economy, and mitigate lasting impacts from the COVID-19 472
pandemic. The ARP made available HOME-ARP funds to entitlement jurisdictions.
On September 13, 2021, HUD published a memorandum of Waivers and Alternative Requirements for Implementation of the HOME American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) Program. Among the waivers authorized was the allowance of 15% of HOME-ARP funds to be used for program administration.
A summary of the programs recommended are below:
Activity
Description
Funding
HOME-ARP Rental
Assistance Program
Provide emergency grants, for up to twelve months of rent and utility assistance. Eligible households would be restricted to very- low income renters (50% or below of Area Median Income (AMI)).
Eligible uses of funds include deferred rent payments to prevent eviction and deferred utility payments to prevent utility shut off.
Maximum amount of assistance per household is $30,000.
Payments will be paid directly to property owner and/or utility companies.
$2,306,303
HOME-ARP
Administration
This program will pay for salaries and benefits for those staff members administering the HOME-ARP grant programs.
$406,994
The Second Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2021-22 One-Year Action Plan was advertised in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin on March 31, 2023. The draft document was made available for public review via the City’s website from March 31, 2023 to May 1, 2023. No public comments were received during the public review period. Subsequent to City Council approval, the plan will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Staff recommends approval of the Substantial Amendment to program the American Rescue Plan special allocation.

IMPLEMENTATION OF VOLUNTARY WATER CONSERVATION STAGE
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
May
2, 2023
SECTION:
ADMINISTRATIVE
REPORTS/DISCUSSION/ACTION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council rescind the Stage 3 Water Conservation Plan measures (Section 6-8.28 of the Ontario Municipal Code) and implement the Voluntary Conservation Stage of the Ontario Municipal Code Water Conservation Plan (Section 6-8.25 of the Ontario Municipal Code).
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is not anticipated for there to be a significant fiscal impact associated with the recommended action of moving to the Voluntary Water Conservation Stage. A possible increase in potable water sales due to a decrease in conservation efforts may increase both revenues and operational costs, such as water purchases, for the Water Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On April 21, May 10, July 8, and October 19, 2021, Governor Newsom issued proclamations that a state of emergency existed statewide due to severe drought conditions and directed state agencies to take immediate action to preserve critical water supplies and mitigate the effects of drought.
On February 1, 2022, the City Council declared a water shortage and approved implementation of Stage 2 of the Water Conservation Plan (Section 6-8.27 of the Ontario Municipal Code), consistent with the Governor’s drought emergency declaration and the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) emergency drought regulations approved on January 4, 2022. On March 28, 2022, Governor Newsom signed an Executive Order directing the SWRCB to consider adopting emergency regulations to increase water conservation. The SWRCB approved mandatory restrictions on May 24, 2022, and placed a ban on watering non-functional turf at commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. In anticipation and preparation of increasingly restrictive regulations, the City Council moved from Stage 2 into Stage 3 (Section 6-8.28 of Ontario’s Municipal Code) of the Water Conservation Plan on July 19, 2022.
474
The recent historic storms have helped alleviate water shortage conditions that severely limited the availability of state water supplies. As of March 15, 2023, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's Board of Directors (MWD) rescinded the emergency conservation mandates that had been imposed on Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) member agencies, which includes the City. On March 24, 2023, Governor Newsom signed an Executive Order easing last year’s drought restrictions, notably ending the voluntary 15% water conservation target, and ending the requirement that local water agencies implement Level 2 water conservation measures. The State ban on wasteful water uses, such as watering ornamental grass on commercial properties, is still in effect.
Pursuant to Section 6-8.22 of Ontario Municipal Code, the City Council has the authority to approve the appropriate water conservation stage. Current water conditions, which include above average rainfall and an increase in available imported water, warrant the City moving from mandatory to voluntary conservation. It is recommended that the City implement the Voluntary Conservation Stage (Section 6-
8.25 of Ontario Municipal Code).
Below is a summary of the specific water efficiency recommendations in the Voluntary Conservation Stage of the City’s Water Conservation Plan.
All persons are encouraged to voluntarily limit water use to the amount absolutely necessary for health and safety, business operations, and irrigation. Except as otherwise provided where a declared water shortage stage or water shortage emergency requires mandatory or other more stringent requirements, the following elements of conservation apply at all times on a voluntary basis by all persons within the City:
a
.
Avoid hose washing of sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking areas or other paved surfaces, except as required for sanitary purposes. If a person uses a hand-held hose to wash any sidewalk, walkway, driveway, parking area or other paved surface, the hose shall be equipped with a positive shutoff nozzle.
b
.
Wash motor vehicles, trailers, boats, and other types of mobile equipment using a handheld bucket, or a hose equipped with a positive shutoff nozzle for quick rinses, or at the immediate premises of a commercial car wash or with recycled wastewater for approved uses. c
.
Avoid using water to clean, fill or maintain levels in decorative fountains, ponds, lakes, or other similar aesthetic structures unless such water is part of a recycling system. d
.
Encourage restaurants, hotels, cafés, cafeterias, or other public places where food is sold, served, or offered for sale, to serve drinking water only to those customers expressly requesting water. e
.
Promptly repair all leaks from indoor and outdoor plumbing fixtures. f
.
Avoid watering lawn, landscape, or other turf areas between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. g
.
Avoid causing or allowing the water to run off landscape areas into adjoining streets, sidewalks, or other paved areas due to incorrectly directed or maintained sprinklers or excessive watering.
The City provides available water saving rebate programs, free landscape workshops, and irrigation tune- up programs to residents to assist in realizing citywide water savings. These programs can be found at www.OntarioWaterWise.org. There is also a Water Waste Form available on the My Ontario App and the City website where customers can report suspected water waste incidents. 475
